Ahhhh, much better

That was really nice to get out for a bit. Although my sister is, how do I put this nicely, um energetic lol oh and has a tendency to be a tad loud, but I had a really good time. Enjoyed some yummy Thai food and then on to the movies. Mmmmm, can I just say Edward is hot. And Jacob, with those bulging muscles, yummy. Gotta love a movie that involves vampires and hotties. I can't wait for the third movie to come out. I think I might just have to pick up the series and read it again.
Now it's seven o'clock, the two little's are in bed and Jr, Steve and I are sitting watching Peter Pan. I doubt Jr man will make it till midnight but I usually ring in the New Year with him because Steve is usually working but it would be neat since he's off this year if we can both ring it in with Jr. I hope every one has a wonderful New Years and stays safe!

And I'm off

I'm so excited. I get adult time. I haven't been out without the kids in so long. Don't get me wrong I love my babies more then anything but everyone needs a little time away every once in a blue moon. My mom, my sister and I are heading out to lunch (Chinese food yay) and then were going to go see New Moon. We originally wanted to go when it first came out but my mom has been back and forth at my grandparents for two months so we haven't been able to go. Soooooo I am outie 5000. Yummy vampires here I come! hehe

Two out of three aint bad

(Btw, I am not a fan of the word aint. Every time I hear it all I think of is growing up and my parents saying "aint aint a word so you aint gonna use it". I just couldn't think of a better word right now)

Back on topic. I love that out of the three kids, two of them are not in the slightest picky eaters. My oldest (Jr) would never touch what I made Samantha and Shawn for lunch, Shana's version of Shrimp Scampi, minus all but a tablespoon of butter. I just added some garlic, a little bit of salt and cayenne pepper and wha-la, lunch is served! Shawn is currently on helping number two. He will probably go for one more too. Actually I should specify that he will eat more shrimp, the rice is now covering my dining room floor.

And yes my kids are either half naked or still in their pj's. Nothing wrong with having a nice lazy day around the house :)

Well pneumonia it is

I knew as soon as Shawn woke up yesterday he was feeling much worse. He had a temp of 101 and you could just see it in his eyes he wasn't feeling well. His breaths were short and crackly. After three phone calls to the Dr's I finally got him in at 5:30pm. The Dr couldn't believe how he went from ok to so bad. He even has a double ear infection too. He got a dose of prednisone, a shot of roceferin and a breathing treatment while we were there. When the Dr looked at his chest x-ray he immediately said that's not right. He said he thinks his lung has collapsed! After several calls to radiologists he came back and said he actually has upper right lobe pneumonia. The right lung is separated into three lobes. The top lobe of his right lung is filled with fluid. So he is treating him aggressively he progressed so quickly and so we don't have to spend Christmas in the hospital. So we were sent home with two more meds and we are continuing the breathing treatments every four hours. Today we are going back so Shawn can get his second dose of roceferin and to see how he's reacting to the meds. He has more energy which is good but still no appetite and barely drinking. Also his fever is down to 100.

My poor little man

Is sick :( It's never fun when your kids are sick. Especially when they're young and can't tell you what's wrong. Shawn has been sick for about two weeks. Nothing serious, runny nose and cough. The cough has been really persistent then the other day it changed from wet to dry and it sounded like he was whistling. So off to the Dr's we went. He has an upper respiratory infection along with wheezing. He has to do a nebulizer treatment every four hours. The Dr said to keep a close eye on his breathing because if he starts breathing rapidly or it sounds like his breathing is crackly to bring him back in and that it probably turned into pneumonia. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't turn into that but he is now running a 101 temperature. You can tell he's not feeling well. His appetite is no where near where it usually is and he's kind of dragging and you can just see it in his eyes. The kids got up at 6:30 (nothing out of the norm there, blah) but at 9:00 he grabbed his little nemo pillow, said "ni-night" and walked into his room and over to his crib. Little man was tired.
